The church of St Peter and St Paul in Puhoi, north of Auckland was built by early Bohemian settlers in 1881 for the sum of 267 pounds or by today’s standards about $500 which would’ve been a huge sum of money back then. The town itself was founded by German speaking immigrants from Bohemia (the Czech Republic) and Puhoi means “slow water” in te reo Maori.
Linking up with Tuesday Treasures and Happy Tuesdays.
I love those classic wooden churches. They’ve survived so many storms, history and are still standing there, solid
I heard that it is beautiful inside, but we never had a chance to see it
Love the red/white-contrast and the “simplicity”.
It looks well maintained!
looks like a nice and cosy space for a service.
I would prefer that to the huge European churches.
…you have the prettiest wee little churches!
Lovely little church photo ~ Hugs ^_^
